Locomotives and brava for attention to women’s health that is actually about women’s health! In 2026 it is inexcusable that so many common conditions, afflictions, and deadly complications women and girls experience every day are still shrouded in mystery. “Women’s health” has been emptied of all meaning except to become a euphemism for abortion and other sexual-license issues, and a tool or even weapon to spread Western sexual ideologies across the world. Yet here we are still suffering from PCOS, endometriosis, debilitating menstrual and pre-menstrual issues, the host of pregnancy complications, “unexplainable” infertility … and no answers, nothing but the pill to mask symptoms and silence an aching body, and IVF to painfully impose fertility on a woman’s ailing system, rather than gaining any understanding of root causes and treating them.
The pill itself is fraught with miserable side effects and challenges that women are only now speaking up about, as they get “sick” of feeling like contraceptive guinea pigs to be sexually available at all times. Something called “restorative reproductive medicine” is gaining ground, but is continually bashed by mainstream medicine. Plus, fertility cycle tracking has made enormous advances past the old “rhythm method,” with some amazing apps available, yet is still treated as stone-age. Why can’t we learn to work with our bodies and their natural cycles respectfully, instead of treating our operating fertility as a disease and our very womanhood a liability?
Medical research on women is more complex than men. But aren’t we worth it? Again, kudos to Ms. Carey Jones ’08. May we see more funded research in women’s health!
